Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in the statement that he "would like to thank Thomas Tuchel and his staff for everything they brought to the Club.
"Thomas has put a lot of energy and passion into his work, and of course we will remember the good times we shared together. I wish him the best for his future."
